CAMDEN, O., March IA, 1887

CAMDbf, w., March IA, 1857.
E. E. Fornshell Sundayed at home.
Chas. Wilson has gone to Cincinnati.
ALT. Whitaker, who has been attending the
Cincinnati school of pharmacy, has finished
his studies and returned home.
Chas. Johnson has resumed his old posi-
ton as local editor of the Gazette. Charley
is a good, steady typo, and we'll deserves his
place.
Camden has never been known to be in such
a condition as at the present time, in regard
to the epidemic of sickness now raging. Mea.
sells or scarlet fever have visited almost every
house in our little city.
The Mason & Morgan's Uncle Toms Cabin
Company played in the Opera House on Fri.
day. evening. The company is without
doubt a good one, but on account of sickness
we could not furnish them with a good house,
as should have been done had it been other
wise.
w. C. Wilson sold his household goods AT
public sale on Saturday afternoon, opposite
the Opera House. W. J. Wilson, auctioneer.
DIED-Of scarlet fever, George, infant son
of Mr.. and Mrs. G.. NJ. Thomas, on Wednes-
day afternoon, aged two years. Funeral SER
vices were held at the house, Friday after
noon at 3 O'Clock, conducted by Rev. Kalb-
fus.
Little Walter, infant son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Aaron Carver. died of scarlet fever FRIDAY
evening, aged about one year. Funeral Sum
day morning at 10 a. M, from the house.
The young are passing away as well as the
aged, and those little sunbeams have been re.
moved from their earthly homes, but we have
full faith that they have gone to a better and
brighter HON in heaven. We express our
heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved parents.

improvements.

The outlook for building and reno.
deling thus early in the season is the
best it has been for several years.
Messrs. Sayler & Son are making sub.
stantial and handsome additions to theil
late purchases on north side of High
street, between Barron and Walnut.
High street is getting to be one of the
handsomest residence streets in the city.
We understand Joseph Neal will
commence laying brick on his new res
idence on the east side of Barron, be-
tween Israel and st. Clair, as soon as
the weather will admit.
Lugar & Brother are putting in the
foundations for their large factory on
the west side of Barron, between Main
and Wadsworth streets.
A. Hiestand is getting the sold brew
cry" rapidly out of the way, and soon
will have his handsome location clear
ed of its unsightly buildings and rub
bish. There are other rookeries in Ea-
ton that some of our live men should 90
and do likewise.
Rinehart 6 Aydelotte are making ad-
ditions to their sash and door factory.
This shows that young friends r.
& A. are doing well and want more
room to supply their increasing trade.

Railroad!

The C. H. & D. engineers engaged in
running the railway line between Day
ton, Eaton and Connersville or Liberty,
reached Eaton On Saturday about noon.
That the road will be constructed to
this place is certain, but what course it
will run from Eaton is not now known,
therefore speculation about it is useless,
There are still rumors of the Pan Han.

the way of West Elkton, to connect with
its line at New Paris. AS to there be.

ELDoRADo, O., March IA, 1887.
The writer having the opportunity of at
tending the Teachers Association, held at
New Paris, March 18th, reports the following:
The day being a bright, balmy one the
opened by prayer from Rev. Arnold of that
place, followed with instrumental music by
Miss Beelman. Mr.. DeMotte, of Lewisburg,
being placed first upon the program,
to him, gave the meeting a rousing talk on
"What Shall We do with the Boys and Girls?"
In the course of his remarks he presented
some thoughts that brought forth a spirited
discussion from Mr.. Miller, Mr.. Bloom, Rev.
Arnold, President Vaughan and others, all
stating many interesting points.
Arrangements being made to supply the
journed for that business until 1870 p. m. I
am pleased to say that all present were kind
ly entertained.
instrumental music by Misses Beelman and
Smith. Mrs. Turner, of Lewisburg, being
next in order, read an excellent paper on
"Grammar School Work" A short discuss
ion followed. Music.
Prof. Study, of Richmond, being called, re-
sponded by reading an excellent paper on
"The Teacher, His Work, His Responsibility"
| All the Preble county teachers who did not
hear this lost an intellectual treat. The pa
per contained much power of thought. The
sentiment contained therein is the true idea
that should be the aim of every teacher of the
land. Not bookology alone. but to make men
and women of. the boys and girls in the truest
sense of those terms, were the objects set
forth in his production.
Prof. Riggs, the humorist, came next. He,
well known by many of the teachers of the
county, always has something entertaining.
So he had on this occasion. He treated the
association to "Da Rias Green and his FLYING
Machine" ga Suffers Situation" Both
the sentiment and the manner in which they
were rendered, occasioned many hearty
laughs from all present. Prof. Riggs is al
ways a welcome visitor at the associations.
After q few miscellaneous remarks on gen.
eralizing the course of study throughout the
county and reports from reading circles were
given, the association adjourned to meet in
Eaton on the second Saturday of April.
Mrs. Bonebrake and Mrs. Baker are still on
the sick list.
Mrs. Macy, near Eldorado, is improving

I have had one of Grams unrivaled Family

purchases of the same for several libraries. I
regard it as one of the best books of Gcogra-

abundant, accurate and recent. The low
price at which it sells is also one of the many
good features of the book.

Having purchased a copy of "Crams Fami-

examination I can cheerfully recommend it
as a most desirable book for any family. The
voluminous maps and the remarkable collec-
tiou of Scientific, Historical and Statistical
matter contained in it make it the reliable
source of a vast amount of valuable informa-
ton very difficult to obtain elsewhere. The
price of the book places it within the reach of
every one. OSCAR SHEPPARD.
